I agree,, pretty uncomfortable,, not to painful it just his me at the wrong time..like while I'm cooking lol. It feels like my while tummy gets really tight like someone is pulling the skin,, and it gets hard. Its there for like a min then goes away. But if you get 3 or more in a hour go to the doctor

Did you ask your doc about the pains you have had .. could also be round ligament pain. If you havent told the doc I'd make an appointment. You may have to have vaginal swabs to rule out other infections.

Yes my bh were uncomfortable but not painful. Real contractions were very painful and urine infection was also painful..rule of thumb
Is Braxton hicks aren't usually supposed to hurt .

Mine as well have been like a tightening of my belly. I'm 38weeks. My actual contractions felt like bad period cramps in previous pregnancies.

I disagree mine just felt tlike ightening, all over belly that are uncomfortable. Shouldn't be very painful or anything though at early stages. I wouldn't say it was sharp.pain either. You could have a Urine infection.

They feel like quick pains. Bit like period pains down below. They're there to get you ready for labor.
